Mfg. Number: 02115
Skill Level 3
43 / 39 pieces
Age 14+
Every variant of the Fw 190 was fast, manoeuvrable and
heavily armed but the D-11 and D-13 models were especially lethal. These
exceptional aircraft were fitted with 30mm cannons in addition to the standard
20mm cannons in order to increase their lethality versus heavy Allied bombers.
Fighter groups like JG26 flew these aircraft on every front of European combat.
They proved lethal to fighters, bombers, and ground forces everywhere they
went. Limited Edition kit combo features two models with decals for three
variants and lots of new resin 'nose' parts.

Mfg. Number: 07389
Skill Level 3
162 pieces
Age 14+
The twin-engine Ki-45
was designed to carry a heavy armament on long-range missions. They were
clumsier than single engine fighters, but a 37 mm cannon made them highly
effective against bombers and ships. One of the air groups deployed by Japan
shot down eight B-29s on its first mission. The Ki-45 took a heavy toll of
bombers, ships and men before becoming obsolete as more single-engine fighters
arrived with American carriers. This limited edition kit features decals for
two Ki-45s.
Decal Options:
I.J.A.A.F. 27th F.R.
1st SQ. Philippines end 1944

All these aircraft
will be available in November (hopefully) from Hasegawa’s
Distributors..
